My only problem with it is that the Elder Futhark setting doesn’t have the option of inverted runes. Could you please fix this in an update? I would greatly appreciate it In particular, the runes that should have this option include Fehu (ᚠ), Uruz (ᚢ), Thurisaz (ᚦ), Ansuz (ᚨ), Raidho (ᚱ), Kenaz (ᚲ), Wunjo (ᚹ), Naudiz (ᚾ), Eihwaz (ᛇ), Perthro (ᛈ), Algiz (ᛉ), Teiwaz (ᛏ), Berkano (ᛒ), Ehwaz (ᛖ), Mannaz (ᛗ), Laguz (ᛚ), and Othala (ᛟ) ### 3/5 — Обратные положения *2020-12-26* Добавьте обратные положения ### 3/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-09-10, version 2.0.0* I’ve already paid and downloaded the app and can’t figure out how to type with it. ### 4/5 — Super pour écrire en Futhark *2020-08-11* Je rejoins le commentaire précédent, c’est super mais une correspondance de l’alphabet serait chouette, ou au moins avoir les lettres dans l’ordre de notre alphabet pour ne pas passer son temps à chercher la bonne lettre serait vraiment un plus :) ### 4/5 — LOVE it :) but.. ;) *2020-08-07, version 2.0.0* I really do love that I can type in runes, there’s just one thing that really sticks out, which, being totally honest, bugs the hell out of me (and gets me confused too). Sol and eihwaz... the symbol for Sol is too vertical and it really stops me typing quickly. The central line in eihwaz should be vertical so that’s fine, but sol’s central line shouldn't be vertical, but horizontal, better yet, diagonal ^_^) please fix this minor issue x ### 3/5 — Ok app *2020-03-24, version 2.0.0* The app is ok and can be used to render alot of different Old Norse words, However the review from 3 years ago is correct the Younger Futhark needs to be completed and have its own keyboard that can be toogled to. As it stands I have to Toogle between the Elder and A/S keyboards to piece Old Norse words in YF. Why is that important? It is important because YF is the alphabet that Old Norse would have been written in during the "viking age" The Medieval Runes would be a nice add on as well. If YF was available as you advertise it would be a 5 rating. Thank you for your work ### 2/5 — Can type but won’t open (still) *2020-03-15, version 2.0.0* I was able to download and start typing with runes from settings however the app shuts off after about 3 seconds of opening it. It’s a little annoying since it’s a paid app that I can’t access the app itself but I am glad I at least can access the keyboard. Edit: After update instead of three seconds which I used to that time to reopen app a couple times to read the instruction but now it’s instantly shutting off so I can’t read it. ### 2/5 — Me gusto *2020-02-23* Estaría genial tuviera la opción en español ### 2/5 — Руны *2019-12-18* Здравствуйте. Добавьте функцию, где руны можно написать в перевернутом виде. Руны пишутся , как в прямом, так и в перевернутом. Этой функции не хватает. Клавиатура не полноценна. В платном приложении должен быть такой функционал. Описание рун на английском, очень не удобно. ### 3/5 — Missing ruins *2019-11-26, version 2.0.0* It’s missing younger futhark ruins... the elder and Anglo Saxon looks all there but “ár” ruin seems to be missing and that was the reason I got this app to write in younger futhark ### 3/5 — App wont open... and younger futhark? *2019-10-20, version 2.0.0* So I just purchased the app and the app itself will pop up for less then a second then close itself... also it's supposed to have three different runic alphabets and I only have two of them and neither are younger futhark, which is the one I got this app for... please help! ### 1/5 — Not working in iPad Air 3rd gen. *2019-09-26, version 2.0.0* I did go into keyboard setting to active runescript. But when I click on keyboard in your I get the normal keyboard not the runes. Is there something else that needs to be download. For it to work otherwise want a refund. Do you an email address to contact you. I do not use nor want to use any social media. It shows in keyboard setting “Runescript” not runes kB. ### 1/5 — Immediately crashes *2019-08-29, version 2.0.0* Can’t use the app. It immediately crashes when I try to run it :( ### 2/5 — there is no reversal symbols *2019-08-12* it’s only “right” direction runes and there is no any “reversal”, but for the runes it’s highly important!!! 5 stars if you’ll fix it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2024-11-02, version 2.0.0* Terrible app. Will not let me install rune keyboard. Good thing it was only a couple bucks wasted. ### 1/5 — Déception *2024-05-14* Aucune traduction en français. Application en Anglais uniquement… je regrette mon achat ! ### 1/5 — No help button *2023-11-04, version 2.0.0* When I go to “add keyboard” there is no option for “runes Kb”. There is one called “runesscript”? ### 1/5 — Does not work for all applications!!! *2021-12-16, version 2.0.0* I am a professional writer, and after purchasing the app, I tried to open it in Word 365 for my current project. However, this proved to be for naught. While the app does work in all other apps, it does not work in any Microsoft Office 365 apps. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2021-04-22, version 2.0.0* I hoped this would work but as I open the app it says to download fonts but wen I click on it it bring me to a page but no option to download anything I’m on iOS ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2021-02-02, version 2.0.0* I download this app on to my iPhone and it doesn’t work it wasn’t worth paying for ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-01-06, version 2.0.0* I’m going to try and get my money back paid and downloaded it for iPhone and it won’t work ### 1/5 — Den Preis ist es nicht wert. *2020-10-01* Man kann zwar Runen schreiben, ok, aber mit wenig komfort. Das j, c und k sind winzige Popel und passen gar nicht zum Rest. Zumindest hätten die lateinischen Buchstaben mit auf die Tasten gehört - so braucht man einen extra Zettel und muss sich die Wörter zusammensuchen. ### 1/5 — Not working at all on a 2019 iPad *2020-08-29, version 2.0.0* Download font link took me to a page full of code, no runic keyboard appears ever, in any app at all. I want my money back! ### 1/5 — Instacrash *2020-02-06, version 2.0.0* App refuses to launch and crashes instantly, please fix! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Отзыв *2022-12-25* Благодарю, все скачала на 7 айфон. Клавиатура появилась. Неудобно только, что приложение только на английском ### 5/5 — That’s incredible *2022-06-25, version 2.0.0* This is app really awesome!!! I had a problem, I couldn't find the fonts to write messages, and you solved it! Thank you so much guys!!! You are awesome!!! ### 5/5 — Почему не работает *2022-01-22* Приобрёл а программа не работает.
